disconnections in multi-player mode

  This is mainly for the staff at WGT. I have been in four different rounds of the Alternate Shot games today that has had a player with trouble loading and freezing up. Each game has ended with the same results....player can not or does not make it back and the game is over. While this has resulted in a victory (record-wise) three out of the four times(dumb partner fourth time) it has also resulted in the playing at least seven holes of an alternate shot game and receiving absolutely no experience points for any of it.

  It is extremely frustrating to have this happen this many times. I can't help but to feel annoyed and cheated. It would be a great help to have this problem fixed. thank you for your time.

  I don't like that it counts as a loss for you if you have a partner that quits or forfeits.  But I agree it is very frustrating.

  I totally agree. I just lost a game after one opponent quit (?) before the game had started. My partner then disconnected.

  The only options you have are either wait five minutes for player to return or forfeit. It has happened that players return after connection problems but in approx. 90% of the cases you wait 5 minutes in vain. That will be hours if you play as much alternate shot games that I do...

  I think WGT should make that 5 minutes 2 instead and that there's an option for the host to drop the game without teams winning or losing a game that hasn't even started.

  Worst than a partner disconnecting is that you get NO XP POINTS AT ALL! I once played a full 18 game where my opponent disconnected at 17 - I spent almost two hours for freaking nothing.

  If WGT can't stop this quitting, they should give us the proportional XP points to how long we played!

  I feel that there needs to be a deposit of credis for All players. If you quit the credits goes to all that stay.

  Disconnectors should be penalized by point deductions and equally compensated to the other players.

  I AGREE COMPLETELY. I HAVE LOST OVER 3,500 XPS IN THE PAST TWO DAYS FROM DROPPED GAMES AND QUITTERS.

   

  A loss is a loss....I play with everyone so I get a lot of losses just because I pick the people that are "low man"....but I can not stand to loose all those points.

  2 18hole games and 8 9 hole matches and nothing for it.

  Hey WGT, what's wrong ?? the last 2 and half weeks have been horrible as far as loading and meter issues r more frustrating then ever, and a lot worst in Alternate almost half the games now finish with loading problems, people disconnecting in frustration etc.

   

  Will this be corrected soon??

  I am not quitter and hate them with a passion, however I can't see why money needs to be involved in everything.

  I personally agree with everyone else on this matter. However, Instead of any negative solutions how about allowing other teams to join that game or perhaps single players. I think that their could be a positive solution to this matter.
